Referee : None
Pitch : Fast Pitch, Porter Ranch
Comments:
Kevin: I seemed to be scoring at will in the first half, which surprised me as much as it disappointed Jason. Jason's offense really picked up in the second half when the board seemed to be tilted in my direction. This was not how I played last week [when Kevin tied and was beaten by Adam Carlson].
Jason: I am shell shocked.

Referee : Wayne Smith
Pitch : Mawra, Porter Ranch
Comments:
Simon: I am very disappointed to have conceded a goal by giving away the ball with my spare goalkeeper leaving Munir with a clear shot, just a few minutes into the game. Most of the game was a midfield battle with most of the action between the two shooting lines and very few chances. I felt I had most of the possession but could not capitalize upon it.
Munir: It was a pretty exciting game to come back into the Subbuteo world [Munir has not played for 4 - 5 weeks]. It was very intense and I pretty much played the way I normally do.

Comments:
Munir: I played better than in the last games we have played. Lots of movement up and down the field. Wayne broke through my defense and had more goal shots. I had one goal I pretty happy with. It was a "Wayne special", a rolling shot in front of the goal.
Wayne: I impressed by Munir's goal. It was a really nice goal. Better than any of mine.

Comments:
Kevin: It was a very tense match, very unlike the first match [today]. Lots of wide open play, both sides missing chances. It was about the most even game I have ever played Jason.
Jason: It was a Kevin said, a very, very even game. I don't think anyone would have scored f we were to play all night.

Comments:
Munir: I felt pretty good in the first half. I felt I did not play not that well. The first half was not normal, it was surreal. I did not feel I played that well, and should not have been in the lead at half time. It [my goal] was a good shot from a good opportunity. I made some good saves as Wayne had some good shots.

Comments:
Munir: I just could not get through Steve's defense. Possession wasn't too bad, but I couldn't get through. Steve's touch was excellent.
Steve: I thought the midfield battle was even, Munir's flicks were excellent. The difference was that I got a few shots and converted one.

Comments:
Munir: I am happy with the game. I would have been happier if I won. Happy I got some shots that had to be saved.
Simon: This results means I finish in third place so I am very happy and a bit relieved to have won the game. It makes up from losing to Munir earlier in the Champions play off group when I gifted him the goal.
